The point of solid state is to eliminate the liquid substrate and thereby make the batteries less reactive and improve safety. They will also improve power density so smaller, lighter batteries can be used to achieve the same power and range as today's batteries. That will make for lighter vehicles due to lower kWh capacity requirements.

Solid State Sodium anode free is the latest hype cycle topic flooding my newsfeed. I thought its supposed to be free of Unobtainium element dependencies. Anyways, I'm sure you're right, EVs will improve over time, until then, I'll wait. At least, for now, EVs will have to compete in the marketplace on a somewhat level playing field for once.
